Product details
Overview
SMBJ75D-M3/I from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in SMB (DO-214AA) package, designed for robust overvoltage protection of DC power rails and signal lines. It features a 75 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 84.6–90.8 V breakdown voltage (VBR) at 1.0 mA test current, 119 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 5.06 A peak pulse current (IPPM), and 600 W peak pulse power rating with 10/1000 μs waveform - deployed in industrial sensor interfaces and MOSFET gate protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the SMBJ75D-M3/I datasheet, SMBJ75D-M3/I pinout, SMBJ75D-M3/I application, or SMBJ75D-M3/I equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping performance under 5.06 A surge, thermal resistance (RθJA = 125 °C/W on minimum pad), unidirectional polarity with cathode band marking, and M3 suffix compliance (halogen-free, RoHS, JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance).
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a voltage-clamped shunt protector: when reverse voltage exceeds VBR, it avalanches to divert transient energy away from downstream components. Its low incremental surge resistance ensures minimal voltage overshoot during fast transients, while tight ±3.5 % VBR tolerance (84.6–90.8 V) enables precise coordination with system overvoltage thresholds.
Designed for 10/1000 μs surge waveforms at 0.01 % duty cycle, SMBJ75D-M3/I sustains 600 W peak pulse power and clamps to ≤119 V at 5.06 A. With TJ max = 150 °C and RθJM = 20 °C/W, it supports reliable operation on standard PCB copper pads without forced cooling in ambient temperatures up to +125 °C after derating.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM (Stand-off Voltage) | 75 V - maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before significant leakage; sets upper limit for protected line's normal DC operating range |
| VBR (Breakdown Voltage) | 84.6–90.8 V at 1.0 mA - precise avalanche initiation window enabling predictable turn-on margin above VWM |
| VC (Clamping Voltage) | 119 V at IPPM = 5.06 A - maximum voltage seen by protected circuit during 10/1000 μs surge; defines worst-case stress on downstream ICs |
| PPPM (Peak Pulse Power) | 600 W - surge energy handling capability per single 10/1000 μs event; validates suitability for IEC 61000-4-5 Level 3/4 threats |
| ID (Reverse Leakage) | ≤0.5 μA at VWM - negligible standby power loss and signal integrity impact on high-impedance nodes |
| RθJA | 125 °C/W - thermal resistance from junction to ambient on minimum recommended pad layout; determines safe power dissipation limits in real PCBs |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMB (DO-214AA), surface-mount, halogen-free, RoHS-compliant, M3 grade (JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistant), matte tin-plated leads. Cathode indicated by molded band.

|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting 24 V analog input channels in PLC modules from inductive switching transients generated by solenoid valves and contactors. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional shunt TVS placed between signal line and ground, clamping surges before they reach precision ADC front-end. Use Value: Limits transient voltage to ≤119 V, preventing latch-up or damage to 3.3 V or 5 V interface ICs while maintaining <0.5 μA leakage during normal operation. |
Use Scenario: Safeguarding N-channel MOSFET gate terminals in motor drive half-bridges exposed to Miller-induced voltage spikes during high dV/dt switching. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Clamping device connected from gate to source, suppressing positive-going spikes that could exceed VGS(max) ratings. Use Value: Fast response (<1 ns) and low clamping voltage ensure gate oxide remains within safe operating area even under repetitive 5.06 A surge events. |
| Telecom DC Power Rail Protection | Automotive Body Control Module (BCM) Inputs |
Use Scenario: Guarding +48 V telecom power distribution boards against load dump and hot-swap transients in central office equipment. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary overvoltage clamp on main DC bus, coordinated with upstream fuses and secondary TVS arrays. Use Value: 600 W PPPM rating and 125 °C/W RθJA allow sustained protection without thermal runaway on standard FR4 layouts. |
Use Scenario: Protecting LIN bus inputs and switch sense pins in automotive BCMs subjected to ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1/2a/3a transients. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional TVS placed at connector entry point, referenced to chassis ground to absorb negative-going spikes. Use Value: Tight VBR tolerance and 119 V VC ensure compatibility with 12 V nominal systems while meeting OEM surge immunity requirements. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ75A-M3/I | Bidirectional variant; symmetric VBR (84.6–90.8 V) and VC (119 V) in both polarities; no cathode band marking | Required where AC-coupled or dual-polarity signal lines (e.g., RS-485, CAN) need protection without polarity constraints | Select SMBJ75A-M3/I only if bidirectional clamping is explicitly required; SMBJ75D-M3/I is optimal for DC rail or unidirectional signal protection. |
| SMCJ75A-M3/I | Larger SMC (DO-214AB) package; same VWM/VBR/VC specs but higher 1500 W PPPM rating and lower RθJA (60 °C/W) | Suitable for higher-energy surge environments (e.g., outdoor power supplies) where board space permits larger footprint | Choose SMCJ75A-M3/I when surge threat level exceeds 600 W or thermal management requires lower junction-to-ambient resistance. |
Compared with SMBJ75D-M3/I, SMBJ75A-M3/I offers polarity-agnostic clamping at identical electrical specs but sacrifices unidirectional optimization, while SMCJ75A-M3/I delivers superior power handling and thermal performance in a larger footprint - neither is pin-compatible, and both require layout revision.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SMBJ75D-M3/I at its rated peak pulse current?
The SMBJ75D-M3/I has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 119 V at its specified peak pulse current (IPPM) of 5.06 A under a 10/1000 μs waveform. This value is measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 standards and represents the highest voltage the protected circuit will experience during a full-rated surge event. The SMBJ75D-M3/I maintains this clamping performance across its qualified temperature range.
Is SMBJ75D-M3/I suitable for protecting 24 V DC power supplies?
Yes, SMBJ75D-M3/I is well-suited for 24 V DC supply protection: its 75 V stand-off voltage (VWM) provides ample margin above 24 V nominal, while its 84.6–90.8 V breakdown range ensures reliable activation only during overvoltage events. The 119 V clamping voltage limits stress on downstream regulators and controllers, and its 600 W PPPM rating handles common inductive-switching transients found in industrial 24 V systems.
Does SMBJ75D-M3/I have a bidirectional version?
Yes - the bidirectional counterpart is SMBJ75A-M3/I (with 'A' suffix instead of 'D'). While SMBJ75D-M3/I is unidirectional and marked with a cathode band, SMBJ75A-M3/I provides symmetrical clamping in both directions and omits the polarity band. Both share identical VWM, VBR, VC, and PPPM ratings, but differ in polarity behavior and marking; they are not interchangeable without circuit review.
What does the 'M3' suffix mean in SMBJ75D-M3/I?
The 'M3' suffix in SMBJ75D-M3/I denotes Vishay's industrial-grade qualification: halogen-free molding compound, full RoHS compliance, and passing JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance testing. It also confirms matte tin-plated leads solderable per J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102. The 'I' indicates 13" tape-and-reel packaging (3200 units per reel), distinguishing it from 'H' (7" reel, 750 units).
How does SMBJ75D-M3/I perform thermally on a standard PCB?
SMBJ75D-M3/I exhibits a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 125 °C/W when mounted on the minimum recommended pad layout per Vishay's datasheet. This means a 1 W steady-state power dissipation would raise junction temperature by ~125 °C above ambient - underscoring why it is rated for pulsed operation only. For continuous use, derating per Figure 5 is mandatory; its 150 °C max junction temperature allows operation up to +125 °C ambient with appropriate derating.
